Clocks for Homes, Clocks for Industry, Clocks for Defense...

Showing some of my clock collection getting ready for the Lazy Daze Arts & Craft Festival in Cary this last weekend. Good thing I brought them with me...this was my almost by best sellers. Thanks to the great customers and very interesting folks we met down there. The weather was tolerable but still a bit warm. What do we expect in August, eh! Some great artists frequent this show and I feel humbled by being there. MY new clock collection is an assortment of enamels. All fold formed for design and strength, some to a greater degree. Assorted purchased faces and some with separation enamel for the numerals. As was true for this show last year, I received a lot of complements for bowls but no purchases. Earrings were a good sell though. Thanks again great customers....Next show is Rockingham County Folk Festival at the RCCC campus, 9/6 and 7. Hope to see you there!

Engraved Cuffs

These are a couple of my engraved cuffs. They are made using cold connections of sterling or copper on brass, buffed to a high shine then laquered for durability. The engraving is a simple line design using some of the hammer and chisel techniques I learned last summer at Montgomery Community College two week Engraving and Scroll Design workshop.

Some of my latest work..Beggars' Bowls

These are hand raised copper vessels and enameled. Approximately 3" by 6". Some are fold formed then raised.
